Additionally, the Vijayawada police are deploying other technological tools, including a bandobast deployment system and criminal identification through National Intelligence Grid (NATGRID).
The bandobast tool is an integrated command system that helps coordinate police personnel for events. “For instance, if an officer requests 2,000 personnel for an event like a Chief Minister’s meeting or a festival, the system will notify all units, allowing officers to assign duties with a single click. The assigned staff will receive their job charts, duties, and locations instantly,” Babu said.
The NATGRID system, a Ministry of Home Affairs database, is being used to track and execute non-bailable warrants (NBWs). “More than 30 NBWs have already been executed using this database, which contains over 24 sets of data to help agencies identify and monitor suspects,” he said.
Babu emphasised that the Vijayawada police are committed to leveraging technology for transparency and efficiency. “We are continuously exploring new tools to make police services more accessible, efficient, and people-friendly,” he added.
